"father!"

Wu Shirong's shout interrupted Wu Jichang's thoughts.

"Dad! If you want, give me a promotion!" Wu Shirong said.

This is a headache for Wu Jichang.

As the eldest son, he is good at everything, even if he can't endure hardships, he is spoiled by the in-law family.

Since the death of their first wife, the Yue family felt even more sorry for their grandson. They refused to let him go through several important actions, thus wasting the opportunity.

The governor of Nanzhen was willing to give up his son to trap the wolf. Now that Bai Hua has become the head of the Xinlun Prefecture Council, and his son has no achievements, he still sacrificed his face to get the position of the general banner.

"I asked you to go to Donglun Country, but if you didn't go, where would you find an opportunity now!" Wu Jichang said.

"Dad, it's not enough if you don't have an official position. Your son can get ahead only by being flattering on weekdays! He works so hard and manages everything, and yet he is said to be using other people's dowry money!" Wu Shirong complained to his father angrily.

Oh, this is a young couple quarreling.

"Otherwise, dad, I'll divorce her! Marry me a better one!"

Haha, better? It’s that easy. I’ll marry one for myself first, okay?

Just a widow with a baby, and you didn't even get it!

"If you are angry in the moment, let it go with a few complaints. Husband and wife should share weal and woe. Without the care of your maternal grandfather's family back then, your father and I would have been nothing but a poor boy with unappreciated talents!

My father's status today is only due to his little merit in serving the dragon back then.

Now Dad still has to climb up cautiously. Don't be willful. When you should tuck your tail, you have to tuck your tail.

The Meng family is willing to marry their direct daughter to you because your father and I have the position of governor. When you can take the position of father, your road will be easier." Wu Jichang patiently taught him.

.

"Dad, you also said that you have to have status. If you don't promote me, where will my status come from?" Wu Shirong is still fighting for it. He is his father's eldest son. In the future, his father will definitely take care of him as the heir to the Wu family.

.

Wu Jichang: "So you must have help. Dad will support you at the right time, but you must also find available help yourself."

Wu Shirong was a little unmotivated: "How to trap? My son has been working hard. I will curry favor with anyone who has hope. I even curry favor with my wife. Is it useful?"

"Flattery? Does my son, Wu Jichang, need to fawn over?" Wu Jichang found that his son's approach was wrong: "What's the use of fawning? You have to learn how to use people!"

Wu Shirong: "Employ people?"

Wu Jichang: "Yes! You need to know who is available and who can cooperate for a long time!"

Wu Shirong: "Dad, what kind of people can be used and what kind of people can't be used?"

Wu Jichang: "You remember: First, people without shortcomings cannot be used. Second, you must have shortcomings yourself."

Wu Shirong: "What do you mean?"

Wu Jichang: "How should I put it... Let's compare it to your wife, or to the Meng family. If they had the power and the means, would they marry their daughter to you?"

Wu Shirong: "Dad, you are looking down on your son!"

Wu Jichang: "What do you have that people can look up to?"

The father pulled his face, and the son shut up and dared not speak.

Wu Jichang glared at his son and continued: "Their shortcoming is that they have no rights and no backing, and your father and I use this shortcoming of theirs to provide them with backing, so they will marry their daughter to you obediently, and they will pay you obediently every year."

Our family shares dividends!”

Wu Shirong: "Then what does it mean that you have shortcomings? If you don't hide your shortcomings, you have to expose them to others?"

Wu Jichang: "Of course! Your father and I's shortcoming is lack of money. I deliberately let them see it, otherwise how could they take the initiative to cooperate with me? You know, when it comes to cooperation, whoever takes the initiative is passive!

It's the same with you and Meng. If you think she looks down on you, that's because she knows your shortcomings, and you also know her shortcomings, so your quarrel is just a quarrel. You don't have the guts to divorce her directly, and she can't bear to wrap it up.

Let’s break up with you.”

Wu Shirong muttered: "Anyway, you just won't change my wife for me!"

Wu Jichang: "What did you say?"

Wu Shirong: "Nothing."

If this conversation were heard by Xiaobao, Xiaobao could sum it up in one sentence: wouldn’t it be like “flies don’t bite seamless eggs”!

"Okay, stop talking. I know that if flies don't bite seamless eggs, it's because I didn't do things well. If I had found a witness to accompany me yesterday, I wouldn't have let them seize the opportunity to steal my pearls."

Xiaobao stopped Xiangzi's earnest words.

"Master, you are smart! How old are you? You can tell everything at once! You really have an exquisite heart with seven orifices!" Xiangzi opened his mouth to praise.

"Xiangzi, I noticed that you usually don't speak. I thought you were dull, but I didn't expect you to be so talkative! Are you holding back too much?"

Xiangzi: "...Master, you are really discerning..."

Chu Qing led the team back to the Blue House.

At the dinner table, Chu Qing asked Hu Hengqiu: "Sir, did today's incident cause you any trouble?"

Hu Hengqiu: "Chu Qing, I find you are quite confusing!"

Chu Qing: "Ah?"

Hu Hengqiu: "You are so bold when it comes to things that should be taboo. You dare to wave your chopsticks around with the emperor. Where are your courage when it comes to things that shouldn't be taboo? You are pretending to break up with me, what are you talking about?"

Chu Qing: "...uh...did I? Did I use chopsticks to sign in front of the emperor? Oh! It's true!"

I'm not from this world, so I'm living a rough life! The rules and etiquette are so unaccustomed to me.

Chu Qing: "My lord, my subordinates are saying that Yongxingsheng is not the shop of Wu Da family. I am afraid that it will bring trouble to your lord today."

Hu Hengqiu: "It's coming again! It's not about being implicated or not. However, you have to be careful, Wu Jichang is a vengeful person.

This shop is his daughter-in-law's dowry shop. On the surface, he can't do anything to you, but behind the scenes, he can't help stumbling upon you.

There is no apparent connection between Wu Jichang and the Meng family's business, but everyone knows the purpose of the marriage between the two families.

As the saying goes: Cutting off a person's wealth is like killing his parents..."

Chu Qing: "It's not broken! Didn't we reduce big things to trivial matters or trivial matters to nothing? We didn't close his shop or file a lawsuit."

Hu Hengqiu: "Are you pretending to be confused or are you really confused? Aren't you and I just officials? Why should we sue officials?"

Chu Qing: "No, my subordinates said that we did not go to court..."

Hu Hengqiu: "Your son scared away all the guests! He even exposed his counterfeiting in person."

Chu Qing: "My son didn't do it on purpose. Who asked them to defraud my son of his pearls?"

Hu Hengqiu: "Aren't you so bold? What are you worried about?"

Chu Qing: "Uh..."

So should I be afraid or should I not be afraid? Chu Qing was a little confused.
